FIRE CRACKER MONEY?
Silence reigned for a while before Mr. Disney's voice rang through the room."This is one of your jokes right? Do you think this kind of manipulation would work on me?" He gritted out.Megan seemed unfazed as she threw what looked like a pregnancy test in his face. I furrowed my eyebrows at her, Somewhat impressed. She came with all the receipts. "Well guys, as much as I'd like to stay and listen to this beautiful exchange of words, I've got to go, I've got very important things to do" I informed them and began to walk towards the door."Are you sure?" I heard Mr. Disney ask. I rolled my eyes. "Not really, but I'm sure you have a lot more pressing matters" I glanced over at Megan "To deal with at this moment" I finished and stepped out.To the honest, his apartment was really beautiful. The walls were painted grey and the floors were tiled with marble, He seemed to be an artistic person because a few paintings hung on the walls, mostly paintings of scenery or nature. I ran my hands
FIRE CRACKER OFFERS AND WEIRDO’S (23)
I glanced between the two men, The one who handed me the blank cheque looked to be in his late forties, His hair was styled back and you could tell it had been dyed recently, A cigarette sat loosely at the side of his lips as he stared at me in expectation. I licked my lips and discreetly tapped my foot against the ground. I tried to gauge the situation because this sounded like some cliche part of a movie I watched a few months ago. Cause, let's face it, who randomly offers someone a blank cheque in exchange for working with them. It's either this man was filthy rich or just dumb. "Look, You don't have to make a decision right now." The man's voice sounded heavy but not demanding. There was something about this man that just felt so familiar. I was certain I had never seen this man before, but something about him was just so— "You can decide tomorrow and come to my company and tell us your decision," The man continued and handed me a file,
FIRE CRACKER YOU’VE GROWN
“Finally, you showed up” Rye spat at me the moment I walked through the hospital doors. It seemed she had just stopped pacing with the angle she was standing, barely facing me but also barely facing elsewhere. Her face had more color than I had remembered but her lips were pursed on a straight line usually they were curved downwards in disappointment.“I had things to take care off” I whispered.“You’ve always had things to...” Rye took a step towards me, her hills clicked on the ground and her eyes hardened “take care off.” She spat. Her eyes held so much emotion as she took another step forward and locked eyes with me “it’s almost as if I’m her daughter and you aren’t”“You might as well be,” I straightened my posture. “…because she has never treated me as her daughter”“that’s because you never earned it” Rye added immediately.I felt a flame ignite in me as I broke eye contact “Yeah,” I responded as a strand of my hair fell unto my face. “I could never earn it, neither her, or aff
FIRE CRACKER I NEED ANSWERS (25)
“I always knew you were a bit insane but this…” My mother said as she narrowed her eyes at me “this is a lot, even for you.” “Don’t treat me like I am crazy, I knew about the arguments you had.” Alice visibly tensed at my words. “The yelling, the whispers all of the stares you gave each other. I knew something was wrong. Did you think you were that discreet with your affairs?” “All I can gather from this is that you were a nosy little brat.” She retorted and tried to walk away but I pulled her back, she spun around and glared at me. “Your party was his last chance to salvage it all…” I continued. “But then you murdered him,” I said in a pained tone. “How could you do that ALICE? He was your husband, the only man who had treated you like royalty, who had loved you… loved me! Yet you killed him! You took him away from us!” I vocalized. “I wasn’t the one who killed him okay!” She snapped and her eyes filled with tears. “I loved Derek to the moon and back,” she added “besides, didn’t y
FIRE CRACKER RYE! (26)
I shut my eyes and licked my lips. The feeling of betrayal left a bland taste in my mouth and I could not help but wonder how many more secrets they had kept from me — from him. I needed to find out who killed my father and why? Alice claimed Rye saw him. Rye saw our father’s murderer and yet she did nothing? She was just a child though... What could she have done? When I was her age I was just trying to put myself together, Rye is doing so well in her life and she should not have to deal with all of this. Her father’s murderer and a manipulative mother. My heart ached. I still needed to speak to her though, I needed to know who killed our father and why my mother wants to protect that person. My whole life has been one mess after the other. All that I had no control over, this I do... I didn't have any control over my father’s death, back then I couldn’t do anything. Now I could. I dragged myself to my feet and increased my pace down the hall, glancing around for Rye. I knew she
FIRE CRACKER PLEASE HELP ME (27)
“Rye!” I cried as I ran over to her, the driver had sped off, leaving Rye heaving on the ground. My eyes frantically scanned her over, fear clawing on my thoughts. Her skin was pale and she looked like she could die at any moment.“Somebody help me! Someone, please help! My sister is dying!” I begged as years filled my eyes. This was not supposed to happen, it wasn’t supposed to be like this, I didn't want her to get hurt, I just needed answers! “All of this...” Rye heaved in a broken tone as her pale blue orbs glared at me “all of this is your fault, leave...” she croaked out as blood leaked from the sides of her lips.“Someone help!” I cried out. My voice cracked and I felt myself stand up at a pace I never knew I could and run after a nurse I saw passing “Please, help me! My sister is dying! Please!” I begged in a desperation-soaked tone. The nurse nodded frantically, glanced at Rye, and immediately went to alert other nurses who brought a stretcher and wheeled her in. I rushed aft
FIRE CRACKER I MESSED UP... AGAIN (28)
“It’s alright.” He shrugged as we broke eye contact, His fancy black leather jacket sat on his shoulders as he rubbed his palms together awkwardly.I sighed and sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting room, my thoughts were racing a mile a minute and I could not get Rye’s previous words out of my head, she had clearly said this was all my fault as if she dies, that’s on me.“So, um, you have a sister?” Tyler said as I glanced over at me, probably trying to make small talk, I parted my lips to give him a response when a voice rang through my head and startled me.“What did you do to my daughter?!” Alice boomed as she marched over to me, She was still clad in her hospital gown and she looked furious, anyone who saw her in plain sight would think she was a worried and furious mother but I knew better.“Look Alice, I am not in the mood—”“All of this is your fault!” She yelled at me. Rage filled her tone as she glared at me, I matched her glare as if to say ‘not here, not nowI could
FIRE CRACKER HOW DARE YOU? (29)
I went silent after those words left my mouth. My eyes stared absentmindedly at the road and a tear fell down my cheeks. My throat suddenly became dry and I resisted the urge to bite on my already blistered lips.It felt like I was taking a million steps back, but giving in was so much easier than hanging on. I was so sick and tired of having to do it all. Trying to be better every single time. I felt sorry for Derek, but right now it felt like this was the only solution to all my problems."Are you still there or did you chicken out?" Martin's husky tone dragged me black to reality, I blinked and picked up the phone that had slipped from my hands at some point."I'm right here," I confirmed in a steady tone."We've got some new ones and they are really good— Well, as long as you can afford them.""Do you have anything that can make me forget everything?" Gosh. My hands trembled and I felt like I was betraying myself."As I said, only if you can afford it," Martin replied with a chuck
